Taste & characteristics

mildnutty

Given in thirds of a month (early / mid / late) for the northern hemisphere in a temperate climate; altitude and season shift them.

Large, heart-shaped nut with a light kernel and tightly sealed suture; highly presentable.

Terminal-bearing, moderate vigour; mid-season leafing.

Moderate yields but very consistent nut quality across years.

Long the Californian standard in-shell variety; needs a pollinizer such as Franquette.
